I am excited to have a pre-release copy of my friend's new book, An Unhurried Leader. Alan Fadling is an author, spiritual director, and newly ordained Anglican priest who has had a strong influence on my life. I met Alan during my time in California while attending The Journey, a two-year intensive spiritual formation retreat. Those retreats led to a long-term ministry partnership and friendship with him and his wife, Gem.

Alan's first book, An Unhurried Life, encourages one to properly embrace the intentional rhythms of work and Sabbath, at Jesus' pace. The teachings of Alan have been a great blessing to me through the years. I know his newest work will have many insights about creating an atmosphere of unhurry in my places of work and leadership.
